Re: Minsk archives

Do you still go to the achives to do research, and if so could you help me out. I would appreciate it. I am looking for any information on my Rakovschik Ancestors. I only know of my great-grandfather David and his brother Isreal/Isadore.

I would love to find birth records on them or find out what happened to their parents. Isreal/Isadore was born in 1887 and his brother Dave/David about 1882-84. Their parents names were Moishe Aaron & Bertha/Bernice Levin.

Isadore had a wife named Bernice Wolfson who died in minsk sometime after 1914, which was after the last child was born. Would love to know what happend to his wife. The children were sent for years later about 1925-1928 and came to america.

Re: Minsk archives

My gg-grandfather Hyman Blumenthal (Bloomenthal) was married to Ann. They had a daughter Rebecca "Rose" (born 1886). I am told they came from Minsk around 1900 to New York via England. Rebecca married Gustave Pearlman (born 1877, parents Jacob and Lena (nee Kaplan) and settled in Bronx or Brooklyn, NY. I've heard that Rebecca won a beauty contest in Minsk and that's how she got the money to come with her mother. If you could find any information on them, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Minsk archives

I read on a thread that teslavska lives in Minsk. I am wondering if she will please contact me. I have two towns of my gparents that the archives may have information about. My gfather's town is Kanicze.

Re: Minsk archives

I hope someone, maybe teslavska, can help me. First I need any information about Buszacin, a village in Rzeczyca county, district of Chotmecz, 35 versts from Rzeczyca. I believe this village to be the birth town of my grandmother, Magdalena Helen Padniewitz. She was born circa 1892. Her father's name was Anthony. She came to the US in 1909, married there in 1910 and returned to Belarus. I believe she had a child who died there. She returned to the US in 1913. I would like to find birth information for her and hopefully for the child. Of course, I would like any other information that might be located. I believe she was Greek Catholic. As for my grandfather, he came from Kanicze, a small town and estate where the river Surow flows into the Biesiadz, Klimowicze county, district of Kos~ciuskowicze, 49 versts from Klimowicze, 147 versts from Mohilew. His name was Andro Stephano Najmalowski. His father's name was Stephano. I believe he may have been Jewish. I would like someone to search the archives or at least give me some leads so that I can find information.
